Go a Topender, Reasonable dry ride, in rough Chop.

Top Ender or similar does pretty much everything
Mine's a 490, I've done 5 day trips, been to the top of the Tiwis, down to the Moyle etc but manageable solo, good eco and can fish small creeks too.
Cast deck is great if you're into casting lures, and an electric motor with spot lock os a must-have

I'm going to be a little biased as I have a 6.35 Formosa so I'd recommend one

It is not how long the fish is but how long you have fished & how long you've wished.......

Would a Stacer 449 proline with full side rails be ok in croc country for a cheap option do you think?
